Answer:
Filtration
Explanation:
Filtration: The process by which the solid particles are separated from liquids/gas (i.e. fluids) through a semi permeable membrane (filter) according to its concentration gradient (i.e. movement of particles from high concentration to the lower concentration) is called filtration.
- The process of filtration is enhanced by the hydro-static pressure (i.e. pressure exerted by the fluids).
- Examples: Filtration has so many practical examples like vacuum cleaner and air conditioner are the examples of filtration which uses a filter to remove dust particles from the air through hydro-static pressure.
- Rate of filtration process is proportional to the hydro-static concentration caused by concentration gradient i.e. increasing hydro static pressure increases the rate of filtration process and decreasing the hydro-static pressure will decrease the rate of filtration process.
